INTRO Hi everyone, new gal from Canada

[Nununugget]

Alright, I’ve procrastinated on this long enough. I’ve finally gone through the rules, so here’s my intro! I’m F36, and after my two boys arrived, keeping up with everything got tough — I ended up crashing on the couch at 8pm and binge eating and drinking. The scale kept creeping up. I began looking into GLPs mainly because of those rough 8pm patterns, though the weight loss side of things sounded pretty appealing too. My research started on Reddit, which is how I ended up here, and I’ve spent the last couple of months trying Reta with good results so far. I’d really like to connect with other moms (or dads) going through the same thing.

It's wonderful that you came across this community; it's a fantastic spot to pick up knowledge and connect with others who get what you're going through. Since Dec 25, I've been on a GLP1. The quieting of food noise has made me VERY thankful. Just for that benefit, I'd continue these meds.

For me, food noises stopped on Day One and pretty much haven't come back. Thanks to tirz/reta, I appear to have put an end to the late-night eating that was really adding the pounds. When I felt pulled between work/home duties, that was my "me" time.

It's great that you're seeing positive outcomes! I began with tirz and then brought in reta to get past a stall, and it worked. If you look around the forums, you'll see every possible combination of meds, plus accounts of sides and how people have managed them. Welcome!
